Wow!! Very cool. Too bad Paramount decided to get their feathers in a huff about it. In a perfect world, Paramount would hire them to make the film, as the crew who put this together obviously show the talent required.

Plz go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuhrD8eNi-0This is a Vietnamese vid, in which the little rat is 'rocking out' to the music. IOW, the music was not added afterward to the recording, but is part of the original video sound track, and the rat can hear it and is 'boogieing out' to the 'hip hop' as good as any human preadolescent child.Either that, or it is a very clever fake-out, as betrayed by the distinct absence of any extraneous background sounds. edit-- Come to think of it, I wonder if the poor little guy is suffering from some sort of neurological disorder. The vid was originally posted 03-30-11, so according to this duckduckgo query, he's probably died of old age by now; so I'm obliged to finis my post with something sentimental, like "Fly high, little guy."edit- Here's the way cool lyrics to the song track...what the heck, here's the actual lyrics.....Trouble will find you no mater where you go, oh ohNo Matter if you're fast no matter if you're slow, oh ohThe eye of the storm and the cry in the morn, oh ohYour fine for a while but then start to loose controlHe's there in the darkHe's there in my heartHe waits in the windsHe's gotta play a partTrouble is a friendYeah trouble is a friend of mine. oh oh

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh ohAnd no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh ohHe sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh ohSo don't forget as you ease on down the road

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the armI won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charmTrouble is a friendYeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

^^ That Predator: Dark Ages looked like rather well done SF. A credible fictional extension from the original concept, and though it moves us through time, it seemed relatively consistent with the general theme of the Predator movies.

For 12 minutes of innocent fun-loving adolescent bro & sis duo's energetic and zany 'turnout not burnout', plz check out JUST DANCE 2017. I originally found her dance vid while looking for more rat vids to post at DC, found her meet my rats vid, liked that, and ended up going to her yt home page @ simplytasha.

I saw a documentary in the cinema a few years back To The Limit, about two brother climbers (Huber) who were trying to break the speed record climbing El Capitan, but that was using ropes -- AFAICR they failed in that attempt because one of them fell.

Research notes:The Greek philosopher Zeno of Citium (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno_of_Citium>(Not to be confused with Zeno of Elea.)Born c. 334 BC in Citium, CyprusDied c. 262 BC in Athens.Era Ancient philosophyRegion: Western philosophySchool: StoicismMain interests: Logic, Physics, EthicsNotable ideas: Founder of StoicismInfluences[show]Influenced[show]Zeno of Citium (/'zi?no?/; Greek: ????? ? ??t?e??, Zenon ho Kitieus; c. 334 – c. 262 BC) was a Hellenistic thinker[1] from Citium (??t???, Kition), Cyprus, and probably of Phoenician descent.[2] Zeno was the founder of the Stoic school of philosophy, which he taught in Athens from about 300 BC. Based on the moral ideas of the Cynics, Stoicism laid great emphasis on goodness and peace of mind gained from living a life of Virtue in accordance with Nature. It proved very successful, and flourished as the dominant philosophy from the Hellenistic period through to the Roman era.,,,Zeno died around 262 BC.[a] Laërtius reports about his death:As he was leaving the school he tripped and fell, breaking his toe. Striking the ground with his fist, he quoted the line from the Niobe:"I come, I come, why dost thou call for me?"and died on the spot through holding his breath.[24]__________________________________________
